4.4.5 SETTING THE REBOUND ON YOUR FORK AND ON YOUR SHOCK
Shocks, pneumatic forks and some hydraulic forks are equipped with a dial that enables easy
adjustment of the rebound level. On the shock, this dial is situated in the same position as the
lockout lever (Figure 25). On the forks, this dial is usually placed under the right fork leg and can
be found thanks to the sticker marked "rebound" (Figure 25). This is usually in the color red.

The rebound of your suspension controls the speed at which the stroke returns to neutral after
a shock. The perfect setting is therefore not always easy to find and can depend on several
different factors: your riding ability, the terrain on which you are riding, as well as your riding
style. Don't hesitate to go to your local Moustache retailer to help you set this up.
N.B. : This setting should be carried out after you have adjusted your SAG (see preceding
paragraphs).
If you would like your suspension to be more lively (to be closer to that of a spring), you should
turn the dial in the direction that is indicated with a "+" or an image of a rabbit "
be able to feel that your suspension is more reactive and comes back quickly to its initial
position.
Conversely, if you would like your suspension to be less lively, then you should turn the dial in
the direction that is indicated with a "-" or an image of a tortoise "
N.B. : The images used may have a different signification depending on the brand. Do not
hesitate to consult the notice provided by the manufacturer of your fork.
Here is a more advice to help you set up your fork:
• The symptoms of a too slow rebound: during a passage of numerous big shocks
one after the other, as in a rocky descent or steps, your suspension will push
down without having the time to come back to its original position. You will need
to increase the rebound of your suspension.
• The symptoms of a too fast rebound: the behavior of your suspension will resemble
that of a spring, your bike will lose contact with the ground during a rough part
of trail. Your bike will lose grip and therefore will underperform. You will need to
decrease the rebound of your suspension.
